DC's new Wonder Comics imprint has done a lot of good in a short span of time. DC has suffered from a dearth of great teen-driven books in recent years, with none of the numerous incarnations of Teen Titans living up to the classic runs. But just in the past two months, Young Justice has revived a venerated brand and Naomi has introduced a brand new teen heroine. Now Wonder Twins comes along to reboot two campy old favorites from the days of the Super Friends cartoon. The result is every bit as silly and enjoyable as you'd expect from this pairing of material and creative team.
Is there a creative team more qualified than writer Mark Russell and artist Stephen Byrne to reboot a property like this? Through books like The Flintstones and Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles, Russell has established himself as a master of re-energizing old favorites through a mix of loving tribute and self-aware satire. This series doesn't serve as quite the dramatic overhaul Exit Stage Left was for Snagglepuss. Many familiar trappings from Super Friends are still in play, right down to the silly purple costumes. But at the same time, this series is more high school drama than it is superhero epic. It's more concerned with how two teenage aliens from the most straitlaced planet in the universe adjust to life as high school students and Justice League interns.
